What is right for someone may not fit others preference-cars, jeans, and triggers. That said, the SSA-e is a great trigger for accurate shooting, but not so light I'd hesitate to take it to the woods (it is not a dedicated target trigger).
As stated above: Get on target. Safety off. Natural pause in breath. Take the slack out (pull through the first stage stopping when it hits the wall). Any further movement beyond this will fire the round, so there is absolute control. Should things not be lined up, release and begin again. Writing this seems like it is a slow long process - it is not. Although when learning slow is the way to go.
Using the tip of your trigger finger on the lower third of the trigger may be helpful. Another tip is to move the trigger straight back, think press rather than pull. I find it useful to keep the thumb on the trigger hand relaxed as it seems to aid in keeping the rifle steady in the last milliseconds.
Longer range and shooting for accuracy is where I find it excels. Still it doesn't limit quick shooting - Should a coyote pop out at close range and be departing fast, I am not opposed to pulling straight through as if it was a single stage.
Key is becoming accustomed to the trigger and exactly what it feels like.
I think you will see the SSA-Es virtue is predictability after some time with it. Good luck.
